Mr. Bouhe.

Never saw.

Mr. Liebeler.

How about "Crocodile"?

Mr. Bouhe.

Unfortunately; yes, sir.

Mr. Liebeler.

Do you remember the name of any others?

Mr. Bouhe.

Yes; I think it is called "O-g-o-n-e-k." Means, "little fire."

Mr. Liebeler.

Do you remember any other Russian periodicals that you saw in Oswald's possession?

Mr. Bouhe.

Something about the sports, because you always could see a Russian magazine open there with pictures on life in the Soviet Union.

Mr. Liebeler.

Do you know whether he subscribed or regularly read a periodical called "The Worker"?

Mr. Bouhe.

Never saw a copy in the house.

Mr. Liebeler.

How about "The Militant"?

Mr. Bouhe.

Never saw any such article, magazine.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did you ever have occasion to notice any books on political subjects in Oswald's home?

Mr. Bouhe.

Oh, yes.

Mr. Liebeler.

Tell us about that.

Mr. Bouhe.

Oswald had a little table in his apartment on Mercedes Street in Fort Worth. I cannot remember the exact names, but certainly Karl Marx, Lenin and his works, and similar things which I do not remember. And I positively, being aghast at such an assortment, flipped over the first two-three pages, and I think in two out of three I saw the stamp of the Fort Worth Public Library.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did you ever discuss with Oswald the fact that these books were in his apartment?

Mr. Bouhe.

No.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did he ever say anything to you about them?

Mr. Bouhe.

No.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did you ever discuss politics with Oswald?

Mr. Bouhe.

American politics?

Mr. Liebeler.

Yes; politics of any kind, or economics? That is, his attitude toward the U.S. Government and toward the Russian government?

Mr. Bouhe.

After the first or second visit I saw he was a mixed-up man. I did not touch any of these subjects.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did you discuss them with him during the first two or three times that you saw him?

Mr. Bouhe.

The only thing I discussed the first two or three times I saw him was pure consumer economics for a person living in the Soviet Union, meaning how much are the shoes and how much is Kleenex and things like that.

Mr. Liebeler.

You didn't discuss subjects like the social system or the economic system of the U.S.S.R.?

Mr. Bouhe.

I knew he was stuck on it and knew I wasn't.

Mr. Liebeler.

And how did you know he was stuck on it?

Mr. Bouhe.

He was always smirking and occasionally dropping remarks, "Well, with us in the Soviet Union," meaning some preference, whether it is free rent or free medical care.
For instance, he said, "Marina had a bad tooth, so we went to some place in Moscow waiting for the visa, and they took the tooth out but they didn't put another one in." He said, "We didn't have time." Whether that is right or wrong, I don't know.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did Oswald ever indicate that he wanted to return to Russia?

Mr. Bouhe.

Not during the time I knew him; positively not.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did you ever ask him in words or substance if he thought Russia was so good, why didn't he go back?

Mr. Bouhe.

No; I didn't, because I think he began to hate me very early.

Mr. Liebeler.

Why do you say that, Mr. Bouhe?

Mr. Bouhe.

I had made well in the United States by sheer work. I have enough to live nicely and help others if I wish.
The sense of charity is very deep in me. Marina and the child, the latter sleeping on the floor, attracted me very much. As I repeated to the FBI and Secret Service many times, while they were not relatives of mine, I still felt that if I enjoy a good automobile and a good meal and if I know around the
